We are interested at first in the study of the monotonicity for the period function of the conservative equation \ $(1)\quad \ddot x + g(x) = 0.$\quad Some refinements of known criteria are brought. Moreover, we give necessary and…
We consider the rational potentials of the one-dimensional mechanical systems, which have a family of periodic solutions with the same period (isochronous potentials). We prove that up to a shift and adding a constant all such potentials…
In this work we study the equation $(E) \ddot x + f(x) \dot x^2 + g(x) = 0$ with a center at 0 and investigate conditions of its isochronicity. When $f$ and $g$ are analytic (not necessary odd) a necessary and sufficient condition for the…
The purpose of this paper is to study various monotonicity conditions of the period function $T(c)$ (energy-dependent) for potential systems $\ddot x + g(x)=0$ with a center at the origin 0. We had before identified a family of new criteria…
We study the isochronicity of centers at $O\in \mathbb{R}^2$ for systems $$\dot x=-y+A(x,y),\;\dot y=x+B(x,y),$$ where $A,\;B\in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$, which can be reduced to the Li\'enard type equation. When $deg(A)\leq 4$ and $deg(B) \leq 4$,…
In this paper, the quantum spectrum of isochronous potentials is investigated. Given that the frequency of the classical motion in such potentials is energy-independent, it is natural to expect their quantum spectra to be equispaced.…

This paper focuses on isochronicity of linear center perturbed by a polynomial. Isochronicity of a linear center perturbed by a degree four and degree five polynomials is studied, several new isochronous centers are found. For homogeneous…
In this paper we consider several families of potential non-isochronous systems and study their associated period functions. Firstly, we prove some properties of these functions, like their local behavior near the critical point or…
Isochrone potentials, as defined by Michel H\'enon in the fifties, are spherically symmetric potentials within which a particle orbits with a radial period that is independent of its angular momentum. Isochrone potentials encompass the…
Recently A.R.Chouikha gave a new characterization of isochronicity of center at the origin for the equation $x"+g(x)=0$, where $g$ is a real smooth function defined in some neighborhood of $0 \in \R$. We describe another proof of his…
This paper is concerned with the monotonicity of the period function for closed orbits of systems of the Li\'enard II type equation given by $\ddot{x} + f(x)\dot{x}^{2} + g(x) = 0$. We generalize Chicone's result regarding the monotonicity…
Quasi-periodic solutions of a nonlinear periodic polyharmonic equation in $\R^n$, $n>1$, are studied. It is proven that there is an extensive "non-resonant" set ${\mathcal G}\subset \R^n$ such that for every $\vec k\in \mathcal G$ there is…
We revisit the problem of monotonicity of the period function for the differential equation $u"-u+u^p=0$ and give a simple proof of recent results of Miyamoto and Yagasaki.
An oscillator is called isochronous if all motions have a common period. When the system is forced by a time-dependent perturbation with the same period the dynamics may change and the phenomenon of resonance can appear. In this context,…
A nonpolynomial one-dimensional quantum potential representing an oscillator, that can be considered as placed in the middle between the harmonic oscillator and the isotonic oscillator (harmonic oscillator with a centripetal barrier), is…
Characterizing existence or not of periodic orbit is a classical problem and it has both theoretical importance and many real applications. Here, several new criterions on nonexistence of periodic orbits of the planar dynamical system $\dot…

The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of periodic solutions to symmetric Newtonian systems in any neighborhood of an isolated orbit of equilibria. Applying equivariant bifurcation techniques we obtain a generalization of the…
In this paper we consider a nonlinear generalization of the isotonic oscillator in the same spirit as one considers the generalization of the harmonic oscillator with a truly nonlinear restoring force. The corresponding potential being…
